Hi all!
I have 4 XP boxes, 1 running Wingate to share acces to internet and a mail server.
I have 1 RH8 Linux box connected to the LAN.
The Linux box also has XP installed and I have succesfully mounted its files.
I want to be able to see all the other XP's on the LAN and the printer, which is shared. I understand I need to set up Samba.
I downloaded xsmbrowser, cause its a gui, thinking it would be easier for a simpleton like me.
downloaded and installed the RPM succesfully.
But what then. how do I run it. Where is its executable?
I know this is basics, and Ive read stuff everywhere, but its either double dutch or simply never works when I try to follow the instructions.
Where is the best place to get simple, layspeak help for linux.
Ta!
